Davis Polk offers several opportunities to assist clients with family law issues. Working with inMotion, Inc., Sanctuary for Families’ Center for Battered Women’s Legal Services and other legal services providers, we handle family law matters involving custody, divorce, orders of protection and visitation on behalf of victims of domestic violence and their children.

In addition, through the Volunteers of Legal Service Incarcerated Mothers’ Law Project, our lawyers visit Taconic Correctional Facility on a monthly basis to counsel incarcerated women on issues relating to custody, visitation and child support.

Also, through a program with the New York City Family Court, our lawyers assist pro se litigants with their family law-related questions. Our lawyers meet with pro se parties in half-hour individual sessions at Brooklyn and Manhattan Family Courts to assist them with child support, paternity, visitation, custody and guardianship questions.
